FPS without a mouse? VATS is doing some heavy lifting there

[–] Viking_Hippie 2 points 9 months ago (3 children)

It's a single player Action RPG, not an FPS. The best way to play it is with a controller. On a PC and with tons of mods, of course.

[–] shneancy 29 points 9 months ago (1 children)

you shoot mainly in first person, it is a first person shooter "FPS". A game doesn't need to be exclusively an FPS to be an FPS

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I mean, it's an FPS as well as an RPG. Unless you're going for a melee build, a Mouse is still going to be more comfortable for Guns or Energy Weapons builds.

Ok, but why are they in the sewers of FO4 and not in an abandoned casino or something?

[–] FilthyShrooms 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yea he should be in the middle of the desert. Also that burger looks too fresh and clean

[–] Viking_Hippie 13 points 9 months ago

I bet it's hardly irradiated at all! 😤

[–] Tylerdurdon 25 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Aww yea! I never played that one and the show has inspired me to get back into the universe, so I picked up FNV ultimate.

It was a bit dated at first, so I researched modding and got those graphics in a much better place, along with a ton of bug fixes.

Now to try my hand at Caravan...

[–] [email protected] 24 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You absolutely made the right call. Fallout is apparently at its best when Bethesda isn't fully calling the shots. Apart from the original isometric games, that's (in my opinion) the gem of the series.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Nobody hates Fallout more than Fallout fans, haha.

The biggest thing for me is that New Vegas is both a rushed mess and the highest peak the series had reached, meaning a better Fallout game is both possible and yet will probably never happen.

Here's to hoping Fallout: London is good!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately fallout London is dead in the water with the updates today

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Should just be temporary, not a huge deal hopefully. It's so close to being here that I am fine waiting that bit longer.

[–] PugJesus 19 points 9 months ago (2 children)

As much as I adore and have endlessly played FNV, I never got the hang of Caravan.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

All you need to do is get 2 of the 3 piles to be a higher number than the other guy's and you win. It's actually not that fun once you actually know the rules and it becomes brain-dead easy against the NPCs. Gwent is a little better. But Tetra Master is the GOAT.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

It's basically blackjack, but 21-26, and must be higher than your opponent's "caravan." Kings double values, jacks remove cards, and queens and jokers are less relevant.

Plus, you have to only increase or decrease unless special conditions are met, like having the same suit or a queen.

It's actually really easy to get the hang of and make a ton of caps before you hit New Vegas, even without a Luck build.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I love fallout but it's a Bethesda game so make sure to use this. You just can't play Bethesda games without at least bugfixes.

[–] Tylerdurdon 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I appreciate it man. Yes, I followed a video that primarily patched for capacity and bug fixes. It took a good couple hours of work just for that (Vortex is badass by the way). That was the foundation that would allow for the huge amount of graphics upgrades. I've played a good dozen hours now without a single crash/bug.

This is more satisfying than winning any boss battles in game. Well worth the effort though, have a good one.

Tale of Two Wastelands gang rise up

[–] iamascaryvampire 11 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Yooooooooo where so u live? That cellar? Looks awesome

[–] PhireFloofski 28 points 9 months ago (3 children)

it's a typical cellar in a Polish apartment block

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago

This also what most cellars look like in Europe if your building hasn't been constructed in the last 70 years.

[–] TimeNaan 17 points 9 months ago

Yup, they all look the same. All commie blocks in the country were mass produced in the same exact way.

Also - Oranżada Helena gives it away

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Yeah looks like most shared basements in my city. Every apartment has a private lock up like you can see on the right hand side in the image with the number 6 on it.

[–] PugJesus 5 points 9 months ago

lmao, I wish I lived there. Just a fine picture I found from someone else online.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I should play fallout.

I own it. Haven't played it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

Use Viva New Vegas for a perfectly modded game!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Holy shit... An old Medion laptop in the wild! I got one of those at Aldi in the UK about... I dunno, 20 years ago? A long time ago. 4 years in, the cooler packed in and it started overheating. They RMA'd it and fitted a whole new cooler and motherboard.

The shape looks the same to me, too... Nice little laptop.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Haha, i thought it was Poland until I noticed Oranżada 😂

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Wait is it not?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

My one regret is getting stuck in one of those DLC sidequests. Ugh. I really just need the easy levels.

[–] Ultragigagigantic 2 points 9 months ago

Now playing Camera thief by Atmosphere

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

But why is that laptop from 2001

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Currently playing through the new california mod for the first time (since the fallout london release has been pushed)
